THE CALICO MILLS.
Before the war It was claimed that the Gal
lego was the largest single Touring mill in the
world. Minneapolis now owns that distinction.
The FIRE Of the evacuation swept away the Cal
legO's two mighty buildings and almost de-
stroycd the corn-mill. The Inter was repaired
and started anew. That portion Of the flour
ing-min on the old site was rebuilt, solidly and
well
and, after various fortunes and msfortunes, q
year or two ago a receiver for the company wa8
appointed. Since that time the mills have
been closed; me machinery Is idle, except for
once a day, when the superintendent sets 1t all
in motion, so that 1t shall not become an utter
prey 10 the rust The Gallego brands, onco 10
valuable, have disappeared from the markets. OF
the world.
At last, however. those interested have con-
sented 10 a sale Of the property, and the Chan
Gerry Court has 80 ordered. though no day has
been fixed by the commissioners.
